Question

Rolex worked 40 hours last week she had $74 deducted from his earning for taxes . if he had $286 left after the deduction how much does he earn per hour.

Answer 1

Let's find out what Rolex made BEFORE the reduction.
$286 + $74 = $360

To find out what he makes each hour, we divide $360 by 40 hours.
Rolex's Earning Per Hour = $360/40 hours
Rolex's Earning Per Hour = $9 per hour
